Chris Burroughs commented on KAFKA-171:
---------------------------------------
Even if this doesn't measurably improve node to node performance (and I'm not
sure we should expect it to since we don't have to wait for an ACK to send the
next packet), isn't it definitely making life better for network engineer?
> Kafka producer should do a single write to send message sets

> I think this is because in BoundedByteBufferSend.scala we do essentially
> channel.write(sizeBuffer)
> channel.write(dataBuffer)
> The correct solution is to use vector I/O and instead do
> channel.write(Array(sizeBuffer, dataBuffer))
